Tony Shearer

• I had a successful 32-year career with Victoria Police, commencing in uniform and progressing to the designation of Detective.
• Conducted complex and protracted investigations into offences of Armed Robbery, Sexual Assault and fraud.
• Completed a 3-year secondment with the Australian Federal Police, being deployed to Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Cyprus.
• Upon semi-retirement in 2022, I have spent my time working at home, maintaining my 6-acre property, which has dual occupancy. The second residence is a cottage listed on Airbnb under the name of Mulberry Mews, where I have received over 150 positive reviews due to taking pride in cleaning and preparation for guest satisfaction.
• Currently, I am a single parent with the primary care of my 12-year-old daughter, who commenced Year 7 at Ballarat Grammar in 2025.

Have a criminal history check and work with children.

I previously held First Aid and Remote First Aid certifications throughout my employment with Victoria Police

I am a member of the Ballarat Aquatic Centre, where I currently continue my lifelong commitment to physical fitness, and I have good knowledge of resistance training and injury rehabilitation

I am a member of the Medway Golf Club, where I have had an affiliation for 25 years. I currently hold a 2-handicap and am mostly successfully defying age to make the Victorian Golf Association Division 2 Pennant side at the age of 53

Enjoy reading, gardening, and being a long-suffering St Kilda supporter
